Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob (husks removed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 20-30 seconds in the microwave).
Stir the garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper into the melted butter until well combined. Set aside.
Brush the ears of corn with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This prevents sticking and adds extra flavor.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even charring. The kernels should be tender, and you should see grill marks.
Once the corn is grilled, immediately brush each ear with the seasoned butter mixture, allowing it to melt into the kernels.
Optionally, sprinkle the grilled corn with freshly chopped parsley for added brightness and flavor.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish. Enjoy!
